In this timely and energizing conversation, Bob Krause explores the idea of modern public power—what it means, why it matters, and how communities can take action now.
Rather than a technical or academic presentation, this session offers a high-level, big-picture reflection on the last 25 years of energy developments in California. Bob makes a compelling case to stop waiting for permission and instead build the locally controlled, clean, and reliable energy systems our communities deserve.
He offers a grounded, community-centered framework rooted in justice, accountability, and local empowerment—reminding us that public power isn’t just a policy idea, it’s a pathway to resilience and self-determination.
This is a must-watch session for advocates, organizers, and anyone ready to take bold steps toward energy democracy in California.
